What is Judaism?

1.The first function of a synangogue is to be a house of assembly that serves as a place where Jews can meet and greet. This function is important, because the Jews always have a place where they can come together. The second function of the synagogue is to be a place where the Jews can study. Usually, Jews study the Torrah or other books that relate to the Jewish tradition.The third function of the synangogue is to be a place for prayer and worship.
2. The layout of the synangogue varies at different places. They never look the same. The Ark is always decorated. The Ark always has a central piece that contains the Torah scrolls. In this piece there is a curtain called the parokhet that is designed to cover the center piece. The Torah scrolls are covered with cloth mantles that are decorated with an open bottom and a closed top. The Ten Commandments is a book with ten of the six hundred and thirty five laws.
3. A rabbi is a teacher in the jewish tradition. A Jew becomes a rabbi by practicing different ritualsb and learning the different laws of the Torah.  A rabbi is different from a cleregy man, because he teaches the different laws of the Torah instead of reflecting on them.
4. The Shabbat is the time period in which all Jews have a day of rest. The Shabbat occurs on Friday night at sundown.
5. The Torah is a book of Laws that the Jewsd follow. It is like their bible. The Talmud is the Torah orally spoken.
6. Orthodox is the highest branch of Judisim. Reform is a branch with teaching. Conservative is the branch with certain laws only. Zionist is a branch in which they call themselves Zionist.
7. Hebrew is the language of Jewish people.
8. Yiddish is the language of the Ashkenazic Jews.
9. Mazal Tov means Congratulations. Shalom is a greeting that usually means Hello, peace, or goodbye. Mitzvah means party.
10.  Brit Milah is when the people has just entered the branch of Judisim. Bar Mitzvah is a sweet 16 party which happens once the Jewish people have learned the Torah and the book of Law. Jewish Marriage is when they get married to another Jewish person.
11. Rosh Hoshanah is the holiday that celebrates the Head of the year. Yom Kippur is the most important holiday in which they refrain from work and fast and worship at the synagogue. Hanukah is the Jewish form of Christmas. Passover is a Jewish Holiday in which they pass over the houses and spare lives and put lamb blood on the door.
12. I knew that the synagogue was a place of worship.
13. I thought that the word Shalom is interesting, because they use it for hello and goodbye.
14. The Hanukah Holiday is very similar to my Christmas Holiday.
15. I think that studying in the church is different. I usually just go to church to praise God.
